| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Perhaps not all roads lead Rome but many do. Others may prefer alternative routes, the Appian Way is not the only approach to the great city nor is it a one-way street. "Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plag... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, and a correction, dyslexia and I are old friends. The refered to post should have read 1-02-11, not 1-20-11.Dlaloum, Lew(m), either of you care to speculate if compliance, or the range of "stroke" of the magnets relative to the coil's pol... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, All: First things first, there is no doubt in my mind that our thread father's phono pre is absolutely TOTL, there are times when a "sense of humor" do not transcribe well on the 'net, none the less, there is a real consideration with car... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Your comments concerning the AT20ss- just out of curiosity, I checked the VE cart. database, output is 2.7mv. As is the AT15. Also recently mentioned was the TK10ML-111, 2.2mv. Now I'm curious. The Empire 4000D-111, 3.0mv. Grace F9-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: You left a message? Too much going on with the numerous r/m influences for an exact accounting. In broad strokes, output impedance 500-700 ohm, 100-200pF cap. 700-1200 ohm, 200-300pF. 1200-3xxx ohm, 300-400pF(+). In the good ol' ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Very well considered post, perhaps the most significant statement: "I made comparison against the Acutex because you ( Timeltel ) posted ( correct me if not. ) that the freak was at the same Acutex level performance ( maybe the audi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew: "So I took a small elastic band". Suggest an upgrade to audiophile grade duct tape. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: "In most cases the resonant peaks seem to be a design choice linked to Frequency Linearity at the expense of phase". Exactly. "If a particular range is dissimilar to others, there is then a lack of continuity. This phenomena can ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: "Fixed coil cartridges exibit phase shift because of electical resonances (at frequencies typically in the audible band) due to the 2,000 to 3,500 turns of wire in the coils...usual method to damp down these resonances is to load... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Is the TK7LCa too much of a good thing? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: Rumours are that the 6006 (and it's brothers) were a Japan only cartridge. Information about these is harder to recover than the already elusive figures for the more common Signets and the veracity of "Japan only" should be taken... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Headsnappin: The given induct./res./imped. for the TK7ea is the same as for the TK5ea, the reference for the variation in coil wiring is lost but IIRC, the windings are of Ohno continuous casting, a reheating of the wire as it is formed r... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: A horror story, recalled in conversation with a former U.S. representative for AT. At dinner following a meeting with AT execs. from Japan, their discussion turned to the dispositon of the Signet assembly facilities in Stow, Ohio.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: TK3ea-5ea: Concur. Enjoying (at this time) Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, Rubenstein-Ormandy. Catalog ARD1-0031, 1973 RCA Red Seal "Quadradisc". The TK5/155LC "Sigmutt" is revealing and transparent without loss of energy on an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Really enjoy your terminology. Just to clarify: I'm reluctant to recommend any piece of audio equipment. However, from time to time something comes to my attention that seems worth suggesting to others. There were more than twenty S... |
